The Beatles: Rock Band Review

[Shawn Zipay]

I know what you're all thinking, and yes, I agree with you. This isn't a FPS game, nor is it an action game, but there just wasn't any of those types of games released this week to warrant a review! Instead, you get to check out another genre of gaming in the form of The Beatles: Rock Band.

CS-Nation staff member, ChristianOfTheWired, takes us back in time to when the Beatles ruled the world of music.

Great video quality on this one... I'm really impressed at the quality of the footage and editing, with the possible exception of the abrupt cutoff at the end. Nicely done review, definitely gives you the info you need to know if you're considering picking up this title.

Re: The Beatles: Rock Band Review

The abrupt cut off is my fault. There was some audio issue in the original video that I had to crop out from the ending.

Technically it's MY fault but if Zips wants to take the blame...

I hope at least somebody I know gets this and wants me to come play it with them.

Just beat the Story mode on Guitar. Not too bad, but probably won't buy this.

There's always Rock Band 2 with all the DLC it has.

I know. I had RB2 at one point but... that's another story. I still own RB1 and will pick RB2 up again for Christmas.
